The male protagonist has the same life experience as Ray. An unreliable father got on well with other women when his mother was sick, and left the responsibility of caring for his wife to the minor children. Even the funeral and inheritance matters were handled by the children themselves.
But the male protagonist met a very good wife, and he didn't have any troublesome brothers, and his sister was a cheerful and generous woman. In addition to letting him attend the third wedding, he had to meet his father again, which evoked him. Unpleasant childhood memories.
In this film, except for the flawed father, all members are good people. Kind, generous, considerate, benevolent. Even the male protagonist's female boss is very considerate to his subordinates and will think about his career development.
Not to mention the "perfect saint" played by Tom Hanks. The male protagonist does not believe that there is such a saint who always handles everything with a smile on his face. The saint also has his own tragic memories.
But this film is mainly to teach people how to control anger, how to defuse stress, how to face the hurt of others and how to forgive.
There are two songs in the film, one is about the relationship between neighbors, and the other is about you like this. I prefer the latter. Be your true self, have the courage to talk, and have the energy to tolerate.
Of course life cannot always be flowers and sunshine. There are failures, pain, and death. However, we have to find our own balance. Reconcile with the world, reconcile with yourself. The methods are not necessarily the same. The most important thing is to find a method that suits you and face it, instead of being occupied by fear and resentment, let alone escape.
Tom Hanks' performance still has depth. His expression, his voice, are very playful, and even the dolls under his control have life and character. The male protagonist said, "He's more complicated than I thought." Yes, human nature is inherently complex. It depends on how we use our wisdom.
Rogers chooses to redeem, to redeem himself, and to redeem others. He opened other people's blindfolds, so that people could see the road when he came and the road under his eyes.
The film's shooting style is very nostalgic, and with the characteristics of the prototype characters, it may be easier to resonate in the United States. If you are a domestic audience, you need a little patience to watch it. If you have time to savor life, or need a little warm healing, you can choose to go to the cinema to watch this.
